English Church, Protestant church in La Villa district, Bagni di Lucca, Italy

The English Church stands on via Whipple, 300 metres from the English Cemetery. Architect Giuseppe Pardini designed it in a Gothic-Norman style as an "English House", so that only the small neo-Gothic entrance portico recalls a church. Inside, a single-hall plan is framed by terracotta decoration from a Lucca workshop and a pattern of the Bourbon lily.

Giuseppe Pardini designed and built this religious structure in 1839 with permission from Carlo Ludovico, Duke of Lucca, to serve Protestant visitors. Its construction reflects the openness of the local rulers toward religious diversity during the resort's early growth.

The church served as a gathering place for English visitors during the height of Bagni di Lucca's popularity as a spa resort for wealthy travelers. It reflects how important this building was to the foreign community that made the town its home.

The church stands on Via Whipple, about 300 metres from the English Cemetery. The entrance is through the small neo-Gothic portico, the only part of the building that looks like a church. Inside, a single-hall plan with frescoes and plaques framed by a Bourbon lily pattern; a small baptismal font survives.

The terracotta decorations on the exterior were made by a Lucca workshop, possibly the same one that had produced the ornaments inside Bagni di Lucca's Casinò dei Giuochi. The building was designed as an "English House" because the Archbishop of Lucca, Giovan Domenico Stefanelli, required that it not look like a church.
